Abstract

A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving a request for information, concerning a geographically-proximate entity, on a consumer electronic device included within a vehicle. A location of the vehicle is determined; and the geographically-proximate entity is identified based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A computer-implemented method, executed on a computing device, comprising:
 receiving an utterance for a request for information, concerning a geographically-proximate entity, on a consumer electronic device included within a vehicle;   determining a location of the vehicle; and   identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle.   
     
     
         2 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1  further comprising:
 determining a direction of interest of an occupant of the vehicle concerning the geographically-proximate entity. 
 
     
     
         3 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 2  wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
 identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle and the direction of interest. 
 
     
     
         4 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1  further comprising:
 obtaining imagery concerning the geographically-proximate entity. 
 
     
     
         5 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 4  wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
 identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle and the imagery concerning the geographically-proximate entity. 
 
     
     
         6 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1  wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
 requesting additional information concerning the geographically-proximate entity from an occupant of the vehicle. 
 
     
     
         7 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1  wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
 obtaining information concerning the geographically-proximate entity from a datasource. 
 
     
     
         8 . A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
 receiving an utterance for a request for information, concerning a geographically-proximate entity, on a consumer electronic device included within a vehicle;   determining a location of the vehicle; and   identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle.   
     
     
         9 . The computer program product of  claim 8  further comprising:
 determining a direction of interest of an occupant of the vehicle concerning the geographically-proximate entity. 
 
     
     
         10 . The computer program product of  claim 9  wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
 identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle and the direction of interest. 
 
     
     
         11 . The computer program product of  claim 8  further comprising:
 obtaining imagery concerning the geographically-proximate entity. 
 
     
     
         12 . The computer program product of  claim 11  wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
 identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle and the imagery concerning the geographically-proximate entity. 
 
     
     
         13 . The computer program product of  claim 8  wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
 requesting additional information concerning the geographically-proximate entity from an occupant of the vehicle. 
 
     
     
         14 . The computer program product of  claim 8  wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
 obtaining information concerning the geographically-proximate entity from a datasource. 
 
     
     
         15 . A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:
 receiving an utterance for a request for information, concerning a geographically-proximate entity, on a consumer electronic device included within a vehicle;   determining a location of the vehicle; and   identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle.   
     
     
         16 . The computing system of  claim 15  further comprising:
 determining a direction of interest of an occupant of the vehicle concerning the geographically-proximate entity. 
 
     
     
         17 . The computing system of  claim 16  wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
 identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle and the direction of interest. 
 
     
     
         18 . The computing system of  claim 15  further comprising:
 obtaining imagery concerning the geographically-proximate entity. 
 
     
     
         19 . The computing system of  claim 18  wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
 identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle and the imagery concerning the geographically-proximate entity. 
 
     
     
         20 . The computing system of  claim 15  wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
 requesting additional information concerning the geographically-proximate entity from an occupant of the vehicle. 
 
     
     
         21 . The computing system of  claim 15  wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
 obtaining information concerning the geographically-proximate entity from a datasource.
